"Unfortunately, illegal fishing exists, and it also produces quite negative and harmful effects for the formal economy throughout the world, as well as for the sustainable preservation of our natural resources. Because of the nature of unreported fishing, it is impossible to assess accurately the volume caught and its economic value. However, it is thought to account for at least 15% of total catches. In light of this fact, and because we all want to continue to eat wild fish in the future, I consider it crucial that the Union, as the largest world market for fish and one of the major world fishing powers, should set an example for the rest of the world to follow. It is therefore imperative to ensure that the right to fish should be subject to objective criteria of transparency as regards the ownership of operations and catches. It is also essential that Member States that do not comply with their obligations should lose their fishing rights. There is still a lot to be done. The report takes this into account. I therefore believe that, whether through better cooperation among Member States or at European level, it is possible to combat organised and sporadic crime in the fisheries sector and to promote the formal, transparent and sustainable development of this activity."@en1
